Safety recommendation
The ATSB recommends that Pacific National:
- Review any ambiguity regarding the ACOP definition of a
'vehicle', and the application of that definition to multiple
platform wagons. - Review the loading and marshalling requirements, with
consideration given to the intended application of the ACOP's
Standard Marshalling Requirements and with consideration given to
modern rail operations. - Implement the relevant changes and initiate the ACOP change
process using the Code Management Company's documented
procedures.
